The reviews of the book are so divided that it seems apt somehow. They just can’t not be, for anything American or about it.

Some clear inconsistencies that ruined the revelations. The narrative is a little all over the place.

Sadly, my copy from my local library was one of the erroneously printed batch, so the reading experience was ruined for me. The publisher provides a replacement service, but I can't do it but to inform my library. If you are considering buying this book, please look out for such issues (the graphs may contain boxes where there are supposed to be words).

Slightly more towards art history than my taste, but otherwise meticulously researched with good typesetting – so make sure to get a hard copy!

Not much of a sci-fi but rather a hi-fi (fictions one writes while being high).

Incredibly dull stories. Badly written. Naïve child play disguised as ‘politics’.

Way overrated.

Going through grief is definitely not easy. Especially during such hard times. The few occasions of me grieving happened when I was too young to really grasp the heaviness of it. But I suppose as we grow, the chances of needing to mourn for someone only grow exponentially. It is helpful, then, to have someone share their emotions through a book. The asynchronous and alone nature of reading gives you all the time you need to absorb and appreciate.

One can treat this book like a well written Wikipedia entry – find out the gist of it and delve into the references.
